Yangon Hip Hop

We have a great team in Myanmar. They’re working hard to help local entrepreneurs connect to the outside world. As their country opens up, so are their markets. And Building Markets is striving to ensure that incoming investment is pro-poor, and creates as many jobs as possible.

Our gang on the ground recently hosted a conference to discuss the benefits of technology and finance for local enterprises. Over 250 Burmese businesses and other stakeholders attended and by all accounts it was a success.

But what I really want to share is the creative way the team promoted the conference. They brought the flash-mob concept to Yangon with a surprise hip hop performance. Amazing.
